Portent Stories

A routine monday turned out to be anything but...

Part four of The Umbra, a story told in parts.

Naioma, a normal 18-year-old girl who has a very normal life. Hardships, loss, grief and normal teenage years were probably what defines her being. Until her life changed forever when she met Chase Fuller and the group of not-so-normal teenagers. Chase is a famous pop-star but for a very mysterious reason, he entered Naioma's world and introduce her to her fate. A fate embedded in her left risk. A fate that's hidden and written in history. THIS IS STILL AN UNEDITED FIRST DRAFT. Please don't mind the grammatical and spelling errors for now. It is already being edited and revised at the moment. Thank you for understanding. ♥ GB -- ©2014ThatWallflowerWrites *The rest of the chapters are temporarily unpublished while the whole book is still under revision. Thank you for understanding.

A baby? On a battlefield? Marcus is a clerk in the Imperial army. When he finds an abandoned baby on a battlefield, he has no idea what to do with her. His best friend is no help; he thinks Marcus is a sucker for taking the kid in. The slave who ends up babysitting the child is no better; she thinks Marcus has ulterior motives - bad ones. Not only that, but two mysterious female assassins appear on the scene. Whether they intend to harm the baby or protect her, Marcus isn't sure. It doesn't help that the assassins have magical cloaks that allow them to turn into birds at any time. Marcus and his friends soon find themselves caught up in things they doesn't understand: the child has some connection to an ancient prophecy, one that could have implications for fate of the Empire itself.
